First camp trip of the season Well we finally got to go on our first camping trip for the season. We usually go way before now, but with sickness and weather we had to work around it. Ok...this was about the 3rd trip for Bella. We have some work ahead of us in the way of campground manners, but I think by the end of June maybe July she will be great. We horse camp so yes you all guessed it. She is riding horses. At first nervous, but she finally settled right in and was laying in front of me in my saddle with a blanket. Today being the last day, she was trying to walk out on the neck of my horse. I do keep her restrained with a short strap around my waist and attached to her harness. She does alot of barking at camp especially with other dogs. So we are going to have to work on, needless to say she usually starts the barking. Lastly, I took her a walk before we left and a guy asked me how old she is, she will be two Tues., and he and his wife had two yorkies. Bella didn't bark at them but so willing to start something with the bigger dogs. Anywhoo, one of the two yorkies was bald...yes bald. Her mom told me that the whole litter was like that and the vet told her it was probably a thyroid problem. So I told her if it is a thyroid problem it doesn't cost much for meds. I have another furbabie on it. She was amazed. But after I thought of it, I felt her story was somewhat contradicting. Oh well. Their camping all week and I'm not. Boo. Sorry so long. Wanted to share the horse riding with Bella with you all. |
